When is a Good Time For Training a Dog
February 4th, 2010 | 
Author: In my scenario, while following the Secrets of Dog Training, what we found was Giles and his (my dog) behavioral problems may have been from the result of separation anxiety in the year prior to him being put in the shelter. Many dog behavior problems (such as barking, chewing and digging) may have come from a lack of communication, or miss communication between the previous owner and your dog. Simply put, your dog is not aware of what is expected of them.
I would never really say there’s a correct time to implement obedience training, as it’s down to the owners tolerance to their dogs behavior. If it’s OK with the dogs owner that they chew on the brand new couch, bark at the mail man every morning and leave dead patches of grass all over the summer lawn, then there is no need for the dog to be trained, BUT in many cases most of us would be close to a heart attack by now….
Applying the correct obedience training early on (the earlier the better!) is the most effective technique to correct any dog behavior problems, and also to prevent any reoccurring future problems. The fact that you are reading this page possibly means it is too late for this tip! and again that’s why I decided to create Colorado Dog Training
What you must do is set boundaries of acceptable and unacceptable behavior for your dogs, and stick to them. Be consistent, make it simple for your dog:
- You must make it clear that you’re the alpha dog (leader) in your owner dog relationship.
- Make it clear to him what is unacceptable behavior – every time.
- Make it clear to him what is acceptable behavior – every time.
- Even though it may seem as though your dog is behaving poorly to spite you or annoy you this is not the case. In the vast majority of dog behavior problems there will be a cause or trigger which sparks the behavior. Identifying these triggers is the crucial first step towards solving the problem.
- Be careful you are not inadvertently rewarding the very behavior you are trying to eliminate. An example of this would be if your dog is barking excessively outside, you then go to the door and call him inside. You’re encouraging and rewarding the behavior, and therefore he is sure to do it again!.

I came across your blog whilst seeking for something different on Google, however I had the opportunity to read this posting and I found it very useful indeed.
Hello there, Will you be writing a another write-up? My hubby and myself have spent some time browsing over your web page and interestingly you discussed some thing i was referring to just the other day with our son’s football coach. We very often hear ourselves quarrelling over the smallest of details, isn’t it childish?
